BANGKOK (Reuters) - A panel appointed by Thailand's military government to draft a new constitution has proposed a two-year political ban for junta members to prevent them "hogging power", the chairman said on Thursday.

The army seized power on May 22 in a bid to restore order after months of street protests and political infighting in which nearly 30 people were killed.
